About the Picton Recreation Committee Walking Circle

• The Picton Recreation Committee and the Picton BIA worked together to design a set of three walking circles in Picton with lengths of 5, 3, and 1 kms.
• The longest route includes slightly more than 2 km of Millennium Trail, as well as walk through the downtown area.
• The 3 km route also takes you through downtown Picton, and then through an older residential section of town.
• The shortest route is a leisurely 1 km "Walk in the Park".

All routes start and end in the centre of town at the Mary Street Parking Lot where you will find a large sign version of our map and a very inviting bench for your comfort at the end of your journey. Please consider the stretches illustrated before and after walking - give them a try to limber up and cool down.

The walking circle idea was conceived originally to connect the Millennium Trail to the downtown area and at the same time address a common question asked by trail walkers: "How do we get back to our car without retracing our steps?" We added our routes to accommodate a wider range of walking interested. Picton's walking circle is the first of several under consideration by the County communities to connect our "downtowns" with the Millennium Trail or, in places not located adjacent to that trail, then to other trails nearby. Finally, after your walk, you will find a warm welcome and tasty, nutritious fare at any of the several cafés nearby. Happy walking - and Enjoy!
